Interesting findings. I would guess that 100% of both classes started blogging for the grade, and now at least 50% are doing it for pleasure. Just kidding. However, I do believe that I've been bitten by the blogging bug. What to do?
Your statistical findings were disturbing. I wonder if the two 52%'s were the same group.
How did they gather their information? How do they know that 60% are white? I read an article called, "What's White, Anyway?" I don't know that classifying poeple can be done the way your findings suggested. But it was great to see that people are actually gathering information on bloggers.
Uncle Shanky.
I don't know about everyone, but I know what Uncle Shanky said is somewhat true for me. I didn't blog before this class, but now that I've had to it is kind of fun. I don't know how much I'll continue because I don't have time to blog, but I would definitely use this tool if it become available in a work environment.
